One of those weeks.

Good morning all, hope you are all well. I have had one of those weeks that you are glad to see the back of. Firstly our last remaining rabbit died. She was lovely and one of our own rabbits that we had reared. Shs was around 9yrs old, which is pretty old for a rabbit and we all loved her to bits.
Then my phone packed in again, the flaming thing, I will be glad to see the back of it. When I took it into the shop for repair they were more interested in each other than sorting it out and suggested I would like to take out another contract as this was coming to an end. No way! Rude staff, keep your contract.
Then got a phone call from my Hubby on Tuesday evening to inform me that some thieving morons had stolen all my stone flags from in front of my shop leaving a huge hole right in front of my door so my clients would have to go through the back which is not very customer friendly, especially for older clients with mobility problems. Nightmare! God knows when the Landlady will see fit to sort it out, but hey ho she aint falling into the hole, more's the pity! Just when I have a girl coming to look to rent a beauty room, she will take one look at the hole and do a runner. Could do with a sprinkling of fairy dust if anyone has any!
Hope you all had a better week.

ABOUT ME.

Hi, my name is sue walker, mum to two daughters. That's how making cards started for me, during school holidays, wanting to keep the girls busy with something, i bought some pens, paper, peel offs and that was that, my addiction was born. The girls after a few years moved on to other things, my hobby just grew and grew. As many who craft know eventually you settle at doing what you enjoy the best. I love stamping. I have a passion for Magnolia Tilda and Lily of the Valley stamps. I hope you enjoy seeing my creations as much as i enjoyed making them, as i try to put my heart and soul into them.
